Organic Beef Fillet Tail

A buttery soft steak full of succulent flavour

Quite rightly, the fillet is considered the prize on the beef carcass. It sits nestled below the sirloin and above the flank on the animal's side and really isn't a hard worker. This means that if you want the softest, most tender cut of beef, fillet is the way to go. It's otherwise known as the tenderloin, which pretty much sums it up. The fillet is a long muscle that tapers off towards the end. Prime fillet steak is cut from the centre of the muscle; chateaubriand comes from the thicker 'cap' end, which leaves the tapering 'tail'. The flavour, texture and quality of the tail is every bit as good as the rest of the cut, it's just a slightly inconsistent shape. That's why we leave it as a generously portioned piece, so you can decide if you want to cook it as one or portion it for two.

At Coombe Farm Organic we put a lot of time and effort, plus a lot of care and attention, into rearing our beef cattle. A natural diet of organic grass means the calves grow strong and healthy, with robust bones and substantial muscles. We believe that nature knows what she's up to, so we don't hurry things along. We let our beef animals grow slowly to natural maturity, and that ensure the meat they produce is tender, flavoursome and has the perfect balance of fat to muscle.

Your organic fillet tail comes as portion of approximately 350g. That's a generous portion for one (go ahead, we're not judging) or a sharing portion for two. As with all cuts of fillet, cooking it quick and hot is the best way to preserve the succulence and tender texture. So be brave and cook your fillet tail on a smoking hot griddle for just over a minute per side, before letting it rest, wrapped in foil, for five or ten minutes more. You'll be rewarded with a juicy, butter-soft interior and a crisp outside. Fillet tail is also an excellent choice of cut for dishes such as beef stroganoff, which are cooked quickly, so call for a really tender strips of meat.

Product FAQs

We deliver our organic produce Tuesday – Saturday. Delivery charges for weekday delivery are £3.95 and Saturday delivery £6.95.

The cut off period to get your order the next day is 12pm any order placed after that time will be delivered after 2 days. For example if you order after 12pm on Tuesday you will receive your box on Thursday.

Our products are sent to our customers frozen because when we started the business we looked into convenience for our customers. We found that sending the produce frozen meant that they could order for instance a month’s worth of produce and could go into their freezer until they are ready to use it. It also meant that there was less risk to the meat whilst been delivered as fresh meat can be delicate and risky.

All of our meat is butchered in house. In December 2018 our in-house butcher was built which means that we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.

You will find all the ingredients on the relevant product pages.

We have a dedicated page which explains all the different cuts and where they come from. Find out more here www.coombefarmorganic.co.uk

What a shame that the quality of the chorizo has dropped so much; the introduction of the spicy version may have something to do with it?
